   "Conversation vs. written" ...and there's also the difference between what's written to be read and what's written to be spoken (as in a script).I am certainly no Joel Chandler-Harris but I have done my share of "writing for dollars" and assure you my instructions for setting up and adjusting a laser for double pulse holography looks substantially different from my travel show scripts.
but my favorite was writing print ad copy (text) where I got the chance to use a lot of fabricated words that definitely conveyed a message, but were also definitely not in Webster's.
anybody remember "7up... the un-cola"

	if you want to hear an example of someone reading aloud what was written in "essay style" designed for silent reading - go to any high school graduation and listen to the valedictorian's speech. and try to stay awake.

	Automatic stupid respelling of words is part of why I don't use Microsoft Office. The computer would be smashed if I was forced to use that software that thinks it know more about what I'm writing about that I do. A spell check program I used long ago on CPM for packet radio messages would always suggest to substitute "wintriest" for where I had typed "Winterset" (county seat of Madison County Iowa, home of a couple covered bridges in town, 6 in the county). Fortunately it only suggested its corrections, didn't do them without asking. Gerald J.
